A build based on the iFlight RC IX5 V3 frame that I won in a giveaway.

Themed in pink for extra cuteness.

Looks sweet! How much room is there in the frame? I'm thinking of building one myself but with the holybro kakute F7, atlatl and tekko32 stack (FC-ESC-VTX). The F7 protrudes a bit to the back, so wondering how much room you have in this frame. You used a micro cam on purpose to save on room?

Hey sorry for late reply - I should turn on my email notifications.
There's not awfully much space, but F7 should fit. There's actually quite a lot of space height-wise, so the stack should fit. Might be a bit trickier to fit receiver/battery strap, but I guess you'd manage. I'll post a picture of work in progress, maybe that will give you a bit more insight.
About the camera - I used micro because I wanted to be sure it'll fit + plus it was pink and I loved that :D The camera is actually pretty awesome, I'm sad I didn't get more of those.

With the release of the DJI FPV Drone cinematic FPV has become a lot more accessible, but you certainly don't want to crash a $750 drone! The QAV-CINE Freybott is a compact, lightweight cinematic FPV drone that can take a hit and keep going. It's a lot safer to fly indoors and around people. With a naked GoPro or the SMO 4k you can capture some great stabilized footage. In this guide I'll show you..
